Q: How long would I have to wait after I turn myself in on a technical violation to see my judge to be reinstated?
Hello I’m Justin I’ve been on probation 3 out of 5 years, I couldn’t pay my restitution in a consistent & timely matter which caused me to get a violation, I wanted to ask how long I would sit in jail until I see my judge who ordered me to probation as she’s the only one who can reinstate me, In Florida i know it states 24 hours after your arrested you can see a judge but it is such a broad statement so I’m not sure if it’s meant as a whole, thank you!
A: Unfortunately that is a difficult question to answer. It will depend on when you are arrested or turn yourself in, the judges specific docket and scheduling, and other factors. If you have a lawyer, they could assist you in arranging a court date to limit the time you are in jail waiting.
